Not the one we have now. I want the limited government which plays by
the rules that are spelled out in the Constitution. Not the
slapdash-lackadaisical sorta law-abiding half-assed Congress and
Executive branch that we now have. I want Congressmen with guts enough
to stand up and say STOP!....and NO!!! And those who will limit the
excesses of our government agencies....And make sure that if we pass
laws they are enforced.

I WANT THE CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT that I was taught about in
school...... I want the COUNTRY I was taught about in school. I want to
know what the hell happened to it.

I want a country that works as well as the one I grew up in in the 70's.
Where people worked and were able to find work. Where help was there if
you really needed it, but not as many people were needing or willing to
take it. Where the incentive was to find a job.

And I am willing to try to get it back with the Soapbox, and the Ballot
box and yes, if necessary (although I sincerely hope it isn't), the
other box.

When we heard Texas politicians making overtures toward the embattled
Sriracha factory, we initially brushed them aside. This just sounded
like Texas' way of making a point that California is more in love with
its red tape than its red rooster sauce. Huy Fong Foods would never
leave the Golden State where its chilies come from, right?

But it looks like the company is seriously consider some of those
overtures. Today Vietnamese refugee David Tran invited a Texas lawmaker to check
out the factory, according to the Pasadena Star-News. Tran wrote to Texas state Rep. Jason Villalba, R-Dallas:

“(I) would first like to cordially invite you to come visit (the)
facility in Irwindale so you can observe firsthand our operations as
well as to assess whether there is any potential issues that may affect
your residences before the company considers moving to Texas."

It not just about Texas. Tran has gotten invites from all over the
country: Alabama, Philadelphia, Louisiana, Kansas, Ohio, Georgia, Iowa,
Arizona, New Mexico, West Virginia and Washington have all opened their
arms to the trademark hot sauce.

The self-styled “civil rights” organization Southern Poverty Law
Center, which despite mounting controversy maintains some links to
government agencies, released a bizarre and factually challenged screed
attacking critics and opponents of the deeply controversial United Nations plot known as Agenda 21. Apparently unfamiliar with the definition of basic words such as “conspiracy” and “theory,” or with the UN plan itself,
the SPLC also lashed out at “activist groups,” “mainstream
politicians,” voters, “extremists,” and others who question or oppose
the UN agenda for what it calls “sustainable development” in the United States.

“Agenda 21, a nonbinding United Nations global sustainability plan
signed by the United States more than 20 years ago, is being used by
extremists and mainstream politicians to stoke fears and stifle rational
policymaking across the country,” the SPLC claimed in a summary of its
“Special Report” posted online. Of course, the scheme was not “signed by
the United States,” much less ratified by the U.S. Senate as required;
it was merely signed by then-President George H.W. Bush. However, the UN
plan is nevertheless being quietly foisted on Americans by all levels of government under a variety of innocent-sounding names.
By “rational policymaking,” meanwhile, the SPLC presumably means the
adoption of policies that the leftist fringe group supports.

Institutional Global Warming fraud
- We have created—and institutionalized—incentives for fraud and
penalties for honesty and candor. Not just for men of science; for
virtually every trade and walk of life. For many men, the touchstone of
ethical judgment is no longer "Is it right?" It's "Can I get away with
it?" We have destroyed the bedrock of freedom: our ability to trust.Francis Porretto at bastionofliberty.blogspot.com

Global anything-it-pleases
- Herein is the problem for climate scientists. There is no "normal"
temperature for Earth. What is normal is for the temperature, over
hundreds of thousands and in some cases millions of years, to vary
greatly. The cycle of periods of extreme warmth and cold, and everything
in between, is what is normal... Climate-predicting computer models are
man-made, and their outcomes are self-serving for the men who designed
them, while actual changes to the climate are the result of natural,
cyclical forces, far beyond the control of man.Marc Hopin at americanthinker.com

"There should have been protocols in place that
night and the analogy is a fire. Firefighters and firetrucks are not
going to just show up and start spraying each other," says criminologist
Geoff Alpert. That's what happened in the Boston Bombing, cops shot
anything that moved, including each other, say Schone, Blankstein and
Winter in this investigative report, Too Many Guns: How Shootout With Bombing Suspects Spiraled into Chaos, at NBC News. Some excerpts:

The suspects ended up at the center of a ring
of cops on Laurel Street between Dexter and School streets during the
20-minute firefight, and the bullets that were fired at them often hit
near the officers on the other side... on Laurel Street, rounds flew
into parked cars and police vehicles and chewed up fences and trees...
More than a dozen officers suffered minor injuries during the mayhem,
but none was believed to have been wounded by the suspects... After a
mistaken police radio report that Tsarnaev had stolen a state police SUV, however, multiple rounds were fired at a state police vehicle that was leaving the scene.

The liberty movement does not care what the Federal government deems
“legal” or “illegal.” Our only interest is what is Constitutional and
what is moral. The dispute was never about the “legality” of Bundy’s use
of the land ... Statists and bureaucrats like Reid continually attempt
to argue this issue from the standpoint of Federal legality, obviously
because the Federal government has the legislative and bureaucratic
power to make any despicable action legal if it wishes. However, the
liberty movement has no interest whatsoever in Federal interpretations
of legal precedence. We are only concerned with what is right. Brandon Smith at alt-market.com

The BLM has sort of backed down, but in all this you have to ask a few questions: Why does the BLM
have guys with rifles and mechanized infantry? The whole militarization
of the federal government is disturbing. These guys don't swear
allegiance to the US Constitution,
they don't come from a culture of patriotism like most military
volunteers do. They aren't barred by US law from being active on
American soil. Its like an end run around the military by the executive
department, who apparently wants its own private army it can use against
Americans.Christopher Taylor at wordaroundthe.net

Income tax - When
the Sixteenth Amendment was being debated on the floor of the Senate,
one of its opponents rose to ask the body what it could say to reassure
the American public that this tax would not rise to seize some
unconscionable fraction of their earnings—perhaps as much as ten
percent! A pro-income-tax senator rose and replied that the country need
never fear such a development: "The people would never allow it!"

GM is terminal - And now, the fallout. GM
is not going to survive it. Because the company has become a joke. The
Government Motors thing stuck in a lot of people’s craws – rightly so.
But at least the cars were getting pretty good again, right? ... It is
not a stretch to state that probably millions of people now believe that
GM is capable of almost any form of skullduggery. Such people will never buy a GM
car – no matter how rave the reviews... when people associate you – or
your brand – with serial and deliberate assholeness, it’s a bridge
burned that can’t be rebuilt... GM itself is terminal. There’s no coming back from this one.Eric Peters at ericpetersautos.com

Ukraine and CIA - The CIA
director was sent to Kiev to launch a military suppression of the
Russian separatists in the eastern and southern portions of Ukraine,
former Russian territories for the most part that were foolishly
attached to the Ukraine in the early years of Soviet rule...
In my opinion, Washington does not want the Ukraine matters settled in a
diplomatic and reasonable way.Paul Roberts at paulcraigroberts.org

CONSTRUCTION
has been completed of Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe’s controversial
£5 million mansion in Harare’s leafy northern suburbs.The 25-bedroom private
house, built by a Serbian construction company Energoproject to a Chinese
architectural design, has two lakes in its 44 acre landscaped grounds
and is protected by a multi-million pounds radar system.

Approach roads to
the mansion, topped by a Chinese-style roof clad in midnight blue tiles
from Shanghai, are off limits to the general public.

My son Daniel did a combat tour of Fallujah in 2007, but his other
deployment with the Marine Corps was a MEU to the Gulf of Aden and
Persian Gulf (which both he and I think is a horrible way to throw away
money if we’re never going to use the Marine Corps for anything on these
MEUs except for humanitarian missions – but that’s another topic).

As the pre-deployment workup for this MEU, the Battalion underwent
extensive training in evidence collection protocol and procedures. At
the time I dismissed this as an aberration and thought no more of it.
Then the Washington Post recently had this article, and it made me think again.

Ford hit a Grand Slam home run with its homage to the original supercar,
the legendary Le Mans winning GT40. Built in 2005 and 2006, the new GT
incorporates many new and unique technologies, including an aluminum
space-frame chassis with aluminum body panels and an
aluminum-over-carbon engine cover.

Using the same mid-engine
configuration as the original GT40, the GT is powered by a supercharged
5.4-liter V-8 thrusting 550 horsepower and 500 lb.-ft. of torque through
a specially built Ricardo 6-speed manual transaxle. The result is
astounding performance: the GT produces exhilarating zero-to-60 times of
3.7 seconds and a top speed of 205 MPH.

A few days ago I took out the Savage
110 BA 338 Lapua and attempted the 2500 yard shot. So I placed the
target at 2530 yards or 1.43 miles away, at that distance the bullet
flight time is almost 4.5 seconds! Made a short video that I think you
guys will enjoy. Thanks for watching!

I went out early in the
morning to beat the mirage, luckly there was very little wind around 3-4
mph coming from the left, I dialed 2.6 mils Left. I had to dialed the
maximum elevation my scope (Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 MIL/MIL) had at
27.4 mils then held over 2.5 mils on the reticle to get me to 29.9 mils.
The 300 gr Berger bullets with a MV of 2740 fps at 23.34 inHg start to
go subsonic at 2400 yards, so I figured some weird stuff might happen.
My first shot was pretty even height wise but was way off to the
right, the first 3 shots were sighters to get me on target and then on
my 9th shot I hit the target, then had one more hit on my 12th shot. So
total of 2 out of 12 shots at 2530 yards.

When I got to the target
to my surprise was a sideways hit. My first thought was that it hit the
ground and bounced up sideways, but after reviewing the video I can tell
it was a direct hit because the bullet splash in the dirt is directed
away from the steel and the impact energy on the steel was the same for
both hits, I'm sure if it hit the ground first it would have lost most
of it's energy. So now I ask has anyone ever seen a 300 gr berger bullet
hit sideways??!! Probably due to the sonic wave passing the bullet at
2400 yards, very interesting. The next day I went out to find a couple
missed shot bullets and after metal detecting for almost an hour ready
to give up I found one!

This was my first time shooting past 2060
yards and 2 out of 12 isn't real great but satisfying, I bet with
practice I could get those numbers looking a little better. I really
hope you guys enjoy the video, please comment or ask any questions you
may have.......and let me know what you think!

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is criticizing the
Bureau of Land Management for apparently euthanizing an unknown number
of cattle at the Bundy Ranch.

It has been three and a half years since I first covered
the case of a Washington State prosecutor targeting Kitsap Rifle &
Revolver Club (KRRC) Executive Officer Marcus Carter. Unbelievably,
Kitsap County Prosecuting Attorney Russ Hauge, a Democrat, has still not
stopped his witch hunt, even though his waste of millions of dollars of
taxpayers’ money for almost 15 years has resulted in no convictions
against Carter. As someone who has been targeted
for years by zealous, well-connected prosecutors because of my
conservative political views, I have taken a keen interest in this case.

The thing that needs to be said in respect of the rebellion that has
gathered at the ranch of Cliven Bundy is that it is as American as apple
pie. At the rate things are going the Nevada ranchers are going to
write themselves into American history right alongside Daniel Shays and
the Pennsylvania backwoodsmen who confronted the federal government over
taxes on whiskey. The echoes are uncanny — complete with the
sanctimonious lectures from the federal government over the law and the
righteousness of the anger of the rebels.

Remembrance

Winners: Navy Cross Nguyen Van Kiet & MOH Thomas R. Norris This week’s Medal of Honor hero is one of a handful of Navy SEALs awarded the MOH in the Vietnam War. Norris snuck behind enemy lines with a South Vietnamese Navy petty officer rescued two downed pilots in 1972–when most of our resources had been pulled from the country. Interesting to note that later year, Norris was himself rescued by another SEAL Michael E. Thornton.More @ Medal of Honor Roll Call

My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.

Great Grandfather Koonce

He was a drummer boy in the WBTS, survived the War only to die a few years later. He was caught in an ice storm on his way home, but instead of seeking shelter, continued on his horse until the end. His clothes had to be cut off and he died a few days later.
